The World On Fire

… French are jolly good shportsh, bigod, and lo! the Angel of the Entente Cordiale. It is disgusting to have to foul clean paper with the name of Servia. These swineherds who murdered and mutilated their own king and queen; whose manners make their own pigs gentlefolk; these assassins who officially plot and execute the dastard murder of the Crown Prince of a nation with whom they are at peace; these ruffians so foul that even cynical England hesitates to send a minis- ter to their court of murderers — these be thy gods to- day, O England!

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

…verse in one thought, he may leap forth upon It with the massed violence of his Self, and destroying both these, become that Unity whose name is No Thing. Seek ye all therefore constantly to unite your- selves in rapture with each and every thing that is, and that by utmost passion and lust of Union. To this end take chiefly all such things as are naturally repulsive. For what is pleasant is assimilated easily and without ecstacy: it is in the transfiguration of the loathsome and abhorred into The Beloved that the Self is shaken to the root in …

The Scented Garden

…tter forms are so symbolic that sense of sex is a minor matter.) A man can afford to a man two pleasures which a woman cannot give him : namely : (1) passive sodomy. (pleasure of the pathic) (2) irrumation. (pleasure of the fellator)7 The latter is a small matter, and we are justified in concluding that as far as gross gratifications go, the advantage, substantial though slight, rests with the woman. The supreme pleasures are common to both, except cunnilingism (especially during the monthly courses) on the one side, and passive sodomy on the o…

Lo! the pools of fire and torment mingled with sulphur! Many are their colours, and their colour is as molten gold, when all is said. Is not He one, one and alone, in whom the brightness of your countenance is as 1,728 petals of fire? Also he spake the curse, folding his wings across and crying: Is not the son the enemy of his father? And hath not the daughter stolen the warmth of the bed of her…

Blessing unto the name of the Beast, for he hath let loose a mighty flood of fire from his manhood, and from his woman- hood hath he let loose a mighty flood of water. Every thought of his mind is as a tempest that uprooteth the great trees of the earth, and shaketh the mountains thereof. And the throne of his spirit is a mighty throne of madness and desolation, so that they that look upon it shall cry: Behold the abom- ination…

Magick Without Tears

WORK 471 "gods" or "Masters" -whatever name you like. And that, I suppose, is what you may call the premise major of my syllogism. The minor, I confess, is not so apodeictic. No one, I suppose, is going to point proudly to the present state of human affairs, as evidence that we are all becoming wiser and nobler every minute, as people did seventy years ago. In fact, one may suspect that the majority of well-instructed men expect nothing but that History will repeat itself, and our civilization go the way of all the others whose ruins we dig up …

…d devotion have been their reward. The secret has been principally this, that they considered them- selves noble as well in nature as in name, and thought it foul shame to themselves if any retainer met unnecessary mis- fortune. The upstart of to-day lacks this feeling; he must try constantly to prove his superiority by exhibiting his power; and harshness is his only weapon. In any society where each person has his allotted place, and that a place with its own special honour, mutual respect and self-respect 229

And upon a map of the stars shalt thou draw the sigil of that name; and because also some of the letters are alike, thou shalt know that the stars also have tribes and nations. The letter of a star is but the totem thereof. And the letter repre- senteth not the whole nature of the star, but each star must be known by itself in the wisdom of him that hath the Cyno- cephalus in leash.

And, being servants, they have no name, but we are of the blood royal, and serve not, and therefore are we less than they. Yet, as a man may be both a mighty warrior and a just judge, so may we also perform this service if we have aspired and attained thereto. And yet, with all that, they remain themselves, who have eaten of the pomegranate in Hell. But thou, that art new-born to understanding, this mystery is too great for thee; and of the fu…
